Finally decided it was time to introduce myself to the community. I live in Austin TX and work in the computer netsec world and work on cars and bikes for therapy. I started out to byt a hellcat and...its a long story but ended up with what I think is a Kat killer. Apologies to cat owners-four legged kind, no offense intended. Four wheeled totally different ball game. I dont think Ive ever owned anything that I didnt see something I didnt quite like and begin to tinker till I got it where it should be. Hence the Z I affectionately call the 'lil Redhead' and my wife now refers to her as 'the other woman'. SO anyway, I almost got her where I think she needs to be and am usually always open to contructive criticism and plenty of good advice on stuff I dont have a clue on.Background on the car so far

I started a website to chronicle the adventure from melding a mild-mannered 500hp street and track car into a slightly refined, over the top, edgy beast

Hope yall like her. And just getting started on the site this last couple days so I got a lot to fill in and smooth out but life is a work in progress anyway, right?

Really nice car.I have to ask how do you like that car jack?Do you use two of them or just one as I think it lifts the whole side of the car up.Does it pump up on a air compressor?Many thanks.

Love my Quick jack. Yep there are 2. I should have plenty of pictures up over the next few days going over just about everything I have done to the car. The quick jack has been indispensable as my Z has about 3" ground clearance including headers. The unit is hydraulic with a seperate tank unit. I did everything pretty much with the QJ. pulled and reinstalled the engine, tranny, headers, changing oil etc. Well worth the money, plus not many shops can accommodate the Z. Lucked out though found an NTB with a flat,built in alignment table. They also used it to change out my tires.
